Planning for Penn’s spring 2021 semester
The University announced current plans for the spring semester, describing in a message how essential insights from the fall will inform how some students will be brought back to on-campus housing. Classes will largely remain remote, and Penn Medicine has developed a testing strategy that will require undergraduate students on campus to be tested twice per week. “While we are confident in our ability to bring students back to campus in the spring, we are also mindful that the status of the pandemic can change, and we will continue to monitor all governmental and public health recommendations, lest there be a surge in transmission that requires a change in our planning and operations.”
